The Heart Wants - Paperback

by Christina Quintana (Author)

"To read Christina Quintana's work is to be filled with clarity in the blur and din of our cities, when having 'nothing to mourn' is an 'excuse for an adventure.' Each poem is 'a reminder, an urging' to find in others, in our words and in ourselves, a 'want for something' and what the heart wants." -Ricardo Maldonado, poet and translator "In open-hearted, honest verse, Christina Quintana's The Heart Wants gives and gives until our hearts break and break open. A vibrant debut full of verve and charm." -Thomas Dooley, author of Trespass and artistic director of Emotive Fruition
